MA-dictionary

The MA-dictionary provides the data representation for describing
structural models of macromolecules derived from computational methods.

These structural models are archived in the Model Archive.
These models may be derived from already existing structural templates (also known as
homology modeling or comparative modeling methods) or can be obtained from ab initio
modeling methods.

The MA-dictionary is an extension of the PDBx/mmCIF
dictionary. The PDBx/mmCIF dictionary is used by the wwPDB to
archive structural models of macromolecules determined using X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscory
and three-dimensional Electron Microscopy.
